2 Chronicles 7:19 Cross References - Thomson

¹⁹ But if you turn aside and forsake my statutes and my commandments which I have set before you; and go and serve strange gods and worship them,

¹⁴ Now if you will not hearken to me, nor perform these my commandments,

³³ And I will scatter you among the nations, and a sword shall overtake and consume you. And your land shall be a waste, and your cities a desolation. ³⁴ And the land shall then enjoy its sabbaths all the time of its desolation. When you shall be in the land of your enemies, the land shall then rest; and the land shall keep those sabbaths, ³⁵ which it did not keep by your sabbaths when you dwelt therein. ³⁶ And upon those of you who are left, I will bring a slavery, which shall reach their very hearts, in the land of their enemies. The sound of a leaf driven by the wind will scare them; and they shall flee like those who flee from a battle, and shall fall when none pursueth. ³⁷ And brother shall overlook brother as in a battle, though none attacketh; and you shall not be able to withstand your enemies. ³⁸ And you shall perish among the nations, and the land of your enemies shall devour you. ³⁹ And those of you who are left shall pine away for their sins, and for the sins of their fathers; In the land of their enemies they shall pine away, ⁴⁰ and confess their sins and the sins of their fathers, that they have transgressed, and neglected me, and that they have walked perversely before me, ⁴¹ and I have walked with them in vengeful ire.

I am the Lord; ⁴⁶ These are my judgments, and these are my statutes, and this is the law which the Lord hath given between himself and the children of Israel, at mount Sina, by the ministration of Moses.

²³ take heed to yourselves, that you do not forget the covenant of the Lord our God, which he made with you, and transgress and make for yourselves a graven image of any of the things about which the Lord thy God hath given thee a charge; ²⁴ for the Lord thy God is a consuming fire; a zealous God. ²⁵ If therefore, when you have begotten sons, and sons' sons, and have been long in the land, you transgress, and make a graven image; the likeness of any thing whatever, and do evil in the sight of the Lord your God, to provoke him to wrath, ²⁶ I call heaven and earth this day to witness against you, that you shall surely perish from the land, to which you are going, to cross the Jordan there to take possession of it. You shall not prolong your days therein, but shall be utterly rooted out. ²⁷ And the Lord will scatter you among all the nations, and you shall be left few in number, among all the nations, to which the Lord will bring you.

¹⁵ But in case thou wilt not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God to keep all his commandments which I this day give thee in charge, all these evils shall come upon thee and overtake thee:

³⁶ The Lord carry away thee, and thy rulers, whom thou mayst set over thee, to a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers knew, that thou mayst there serve other gods; stocks and stones; ³⁷ and be there for a bye word, and a proverb, and a public example to all the nations to which the Lord shall bring thee. ³⁸ There thou shalt carry out much seed into the field, and shalt bring little home, for the locust shall devour it; ³⁹ thou shalt plant a vineyard and dress it; but shalt not press out wine, nor regale thyself from it; for worms shall eat it up. ⁴⁰ Thou shalt have plantations of olive trees, in all thy borders, but shalt not be anointed with oil, for thine olive tree shall cast its fruit: ⁴¹ thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but shalt not have them with thee; for they shall go into captivity. ⁴² All thy trees and the products of thy land, shall be consumed with blasting. ⁴³ The stranger who is with thee shall rise higher and higher; but thou shalt fall lower and lower. ⁴⁴ He shall lend to thee; and thou shalt not lend to him: He shall be head; and thou shalt be tail. ⁴⁵ All these curses shall actually come upon thee, and pursue thee, and overtake thee, until he root thee out, and utterly destroy thee because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments, and his rules of rectitude, which he commanded thee, ⁴⁶ And they shall be signs for thee, and wonders for thine offspring forever. ⁴⁷ Because thou didst not serve the Lord thy God with gladness, and with a good understanding, for the abundance of all things; ⁴⁸ therefore thou shalt serve thine enemies, whom the Lord will send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things, and thou shalt wear a yoke of iron on thy neck, until it utterly destroy thee. ⁴⁹ The Lord will bring against thee a nation from afar; from the extremity of the earth, with the impetuosity of an eagle; A nation whose voice thou shalt not understand; ⁵⁰ a nation of an unblushing countenance, which will not respect the person of an elder, nor compassionate a youth. ⁵¹ And it shall devour the increase of thy cattle, and the products of thy land, so as not to leave thee corn, wine, oil, herds or flocks, until it hath destroyed thee, ⁵² and wasted thee in thy cities; until they have demolished thy high, and strong walls, in which thou hast placed thy confidence, throughout thy whole land. And when he shall afflict thee in thy cities which he hath given thee; ⁵³ in thy siege, and in the affliction, with which thine enemy shall afflict thee, thou shalt eat the offspring of thy body; the flesh of thy sons, and thy daughters, whom he gave thee. ⁵⁴ The tender, and very delicate man who is with thee, will look with an evil eye on his brother, and on the wife in his bosom, and the remaining children which may be left him, ⁵⁵ so as not to give one of them any of the flesh of his sons, which he may be eating, because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in that affliction of thine with which thine enemies will afflict thee, in all thy cities. ⁵⁶ And the tender, and very delicate woman among you, whose foot never ventured to tread the ground because of her delicateness, and effeminacy will look with an evil eye on her husband in her bosom, and on her son, and her daughter, ⁵⁷ even the female infant she bore, or the male child which she may have brought forth; for on the account of the want of all things, she will eat these secretly in thy siege, and in that affliction of thine with which thine enemy will afflict thee in thy cities. ⁵⁸ If thou wilt not hearken to do all the words of this law, which are written in this book, to fear this glorious, this wonderful name, The Lord Thy God, ⁵⁹ the Lord will make thy plagues, and the plagues of thy seed, wonderful beyond conception; he will make them great, and marvellous, and thy diseases sore, and lasting, ⁶⁰ and will bring upon thee all the affliction of Egypt; that grievous affliction which thou didst dread on their account, and they shall cleave to thee. ⁶¹ The Lord will also bring upon thee every sickness, and every plague, which is not written, and every one which is written in this book of the law, until he root thee out. ⁶² And you shall be left few in number, instead of being, as you were, like the stars of heaven for multitude. Because thou didst not hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, ⁶³ therefore it shall come to pass, that as the Lord delighted in you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you, in rooting you out; and you shall be removed speedily from the land to which thou art going to take possession of it. ⁶⁴ And the Lord thy God will scatter thee among all the nations, from one extremity of the earth to the other; and thou shalt there serve other gods; stocks and stones, which neither thou, nor thy fathers have known. ⁶⁵ But even among these nations he will not give thee rest, nor shall there be any rest for the sole of thy foot. Indeed the Lord will give thee there a strange trembling heart, and failing eyes, and a desponding soul, ⁶⁶ and thy life shall hang in suspence before thine eyes, and thou shalt be in terror, day and night, and have no assurance of thy life. ⁶⁷ In the morning thou wilt say; How will it be with me in the evening! And in the evening thou wilt say, How may it be with me in the morning! on account of the terror of thy heart with which thou shalt be affrighted, and on account of the sights of thine eyes which thou shalt see. ⁶⁸ And the Lord will send thee back into Egypt, in ships, [by the way which I ordered thou shalt see it no more:] and thou shalt there be exposed to sale to your enemies, for bond men and bond women, and there will be no purchaser.

¹⁵ Now as all the good things, which the Lord hath spoken respecting you, have come to you, so the Lord God will bring upon you all the evil things, until he destroy you from this good land, which the Lord hath given you, ¹⁶ when you transgress the covenant of the Lord our God, which he hath commanded us, and go and serve other gods and worship them.

²⁵ But if you proceed on in wickedness, both you and your king shall be devoted to destruction.

⁶ But if you and your children turn aside from me, and do not keep my commandments and my statutes, which Moses hath laid before you, but go and serve strange gods and worship them; ⁷ I will assuredly remove Israel from the land which I gave them, and cast out of my sight this house which I have hallowed for my name; and Israel shall be a desolation and a bye word among all peoples;

⁴ so that when he grew old his heart was not perfect with the Lord his God as the heart of his father David had been. ⁵ [Omitted] ⁶ [Omitted] ⁷ then Solomon built high places for Chamos the idol of Moab, and for their king the idol of the Ammonites, and for Astarte the abomination of the Sidonians: ⁸ and thus he did for all his strange wives who burned incense and sacrificed to their idols.

⁹ And now, Solomon, my son, know thou the God of thy fathers, and serve him with a perfect heart and a willing mind; for the Lord searcheth all hearts and knoweth every thought. If thou seek him, he will be found by thee; but if thou forsake him, he will at last forsake thee.
